William and Harry commission statue of Mother Diana to mark 20 years since death

Diana, Princess of Wales is to be commemorated with a statue commissioned by her sons to mark the 20th anniversary of her death.

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry said, with the passing of the years, the time was now appropriate to "recognise her positive impact" both at home and abroad with the monument.

It will be erected in a place she knew well, the public gardens of Diana's former home Kensington Palace.

PM will intervene if Trump ban hits Britons - Downing Street

Theresa May does "not agree" with Donald Trump's travel ban on refugees and citizens of seven mainly-Muslim countries and she will make representations if it hits Britons, Downing Street has said.

The Prime Minister arrived back in Britain to a storm of fury after she refused to condemn the US president's controversial ban, which could affect UK citizens born abroad.

Conservative MPs were among the critics and one claimed he would be affected by the border clampdown, which targets those from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Legal fees to be capped in clinical negligence cases

Legal fees will be capped in clinical negligence cases to stop "unscrupulous" lawyers charging excessive costs, the Government has announced.

Cash-strapped NHS services are being hit with huge bills from so-called ambulance chasers who "cream off" payments that are up to 80 times higher than the damages they secure for clients.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is imposing a fixed cap on all cases up to £25,000 in England and Wales, which is expected to save the health service £45 million a year.

Posh and Becks 'enjoyed secret car park trysts'

David Beckham has revealed he and wife Victoria used to have dates in restaurant car parks in the early days of their relationship in order to keep it a secret.

The ex-England captain opened up about his longlasting marriage to the fashion designer and former pop star in a wide-ranging interview on the 75th anniversary edition of Desert Island Discs.

He said keeping an open dialogue was the secret to their "strong family unit".

Breath test may be key to early diagnosis of stomach and oesophageal cancers

A simple breath test could soon be used to diagnose early cases of two deadly cancers.

Findings from a large trial involving more than 300 patients have shown that the test can identify stomach and oesophageal cancers with 85% accuracy.

Both types of cancer are often diagnosed late, leading to poor survival rates.

Queen to became first monarch to reach sapphire jubilee - without the fanfare

The Queen is to make history when she becomes the first British monarch to reach their Sapphire Jubilee.

On February 6 - the anniversary of the day she became Queen - Elizabeth II will have reigned for 65 years.

Judge halts Trump travel ban deportations

A federal judge in New York has issued an emergency order temporarily barring the deportation of people from countries included in Donald Trump's travel ban, saying detained travellers had a strong argument that their legal rights had been violated.

US district judge Ann Donnelly made the order after lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union filed a court petition on behalf of people from seven predominantly Muslim nations who were detained at airports across the country as the president's ban took effect.

Her order affected only a portion of Mr Trump's executive action, with the three-page ruling saying without the stay "there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders and other individuals from nations subject to the January 27 2017 executive order".
